Trials and Tribute- Update 5-23-13

It?s time to put your mettle to the test with a series of trials to complete in your kingdom. We?ve just introduced a new quest called Trials and Tribute. The trials are a series of tasks that even the mightiest of rulers cannot tackle in a day. Instead they stand as a distant goal, to be mastered little by little, day by day. Do you have what it takes to become the ultimate ruler? Collect all 10 badges to prove your worth and brag about it to all your neighboring kingdoms!
Find out what it takes to earn all of these badges after the jump!

Updated descriptions in red

Trial of The Adventurer

Trial of The Brewer

Trial of The Chef
Someone has reported getting it from making hearty feasts. I would think other feasts could work.

Trial of The ArtisanHave you mastered the art of wood and stone?

Trial of The Farmer
Someone has reported this from farming strawberries. I would think that other plants would work

Trial of The Nurturer
Someone has reported this from watering mushrooms. I would think that other plants would count. Other players have confirmed watering and chopping trees work.

Trial of The Miner

Trial of The Explorer- Complete an expansion
Expand to the new expansion (see screenshot below) and have enough of the other expansions)

Trial of TraderHave you learned the art of exchange?

Trial of The Slayer

Also an locked item:

New expansion

I just got my Artisan's Badge from collecting plain and simple Wooden Beams for making "a LOT of building materials".
So I think that you don't have to craft high level stuff. I think you need to craft/collect a certain number of things to get a badge. Although it is possible that high level stuff counts more.

This is what I gather so far.

Explorer - need to have a certain number of expansion. Those that got it by expanding to the new expansion is because they have already hit the required number

Same here. Almost immediately after receiving the trials challenge I beat off a glimmer troll but nothing registered under the 'vanquish a foe' trial. Also had no result from tending the cattle and hens. Very puzzled!

Don't know how to post screen shot but here are the goals within this goal:
